So I wast thinking about getting a pair of headphones for 50~70$.
I'm currently looking at :-
-Audio-Technica ATH-M30X
-Panasonic RP-HTF600-S
-Koss ProDJ100
-JVC HARX900
-Monoprice 108323 
I mostly listen to rock, R&B, pop and some metal. Any recommendations would be appreciated. 
Thanks!

Gemini HSR-1000 ($45), they are relabeled Takstar Pro 80s.

Can't go wrong with some good, old-fashioned Grado sr60e on-ears for $79 for rock and punk.

Or the Sennheiser HD 518 over-ears for $74 for overall quality

I also know someone who has the AKG K240 for about $68, and they seem to be pretty good, too.

Maybe a bit over your range, but overall worth it in my opinion.

If you don't want open phones, discard the grado option. What's your source equipment out of curiosity. Sometimes certain DAP & headphone combinations are known for having great synergy.

Well, these 3 don't ship to Saudi Arabia (where I live) and therefore aren't really an option.

I do prefer closed headphones. My main sources will be my PC (built-in sound card) and my HTC one m8, no fancy hardware.

I've owned 3 of the headphones on your list and would still prefer the Gemini HSR-1000 (or Takstar Pro 80).
Wow Saudi Arabia, My lily white skin would get a sun burn in less then five minutes being outside there.

I'll definitely consider the Gemini phones, thanks!
Oh and nobody goes outside unless you really have to long live air conditioners.

If you would like some headphones with a bit of bass emphasis, grab these Onkyos:

Woot.com has the Onkyo ES-CTI300(BS) On-Ear Headphones with Control Talk for iOS Devices with Hi-Fi Cable - Black/Silver

For $59

Pretty great deal.

Here's a review of the version with the regular cable: http://www.innerfidelity.com/content/delightful-onkyo-es-fc300-and-es-hf300

They'll sell out FAST at that price.

 

[taffy2207]

As good a deal as that is, Woot don't ship internationally so it's not an option for him sadly.

I would assume an outdoor social life starts at around midnight?

 

[cel4145]

Sorry to get his hopes up.

 

[taffy2207]

Sorry to get his hopes up.

And mine

That's a wicked deal though. I was thinking about getting a pair of them before I got my MF100's. For that price I'd buy them anyway, if it wasn't for my darn Britishness

With the upcoming election here and the possible option of an EU Referendum (Should I stay or Should I go? Scenario) maybe we should join the USA so we can get better deal on phones. Just thought I'd throw the idea out there

We get great deals on all kinds of audio. I think they only place you beat is on some the UK audio brands

No onkyos for me , I guess that leaves me with the Geminis as the best choice.
